I've never heard of a player losing playing time for what grades they could possibly make in the future. LSU high-ups leaked info to certain radio hosts that Lee's grades were the reason that he wasn't playing against Western Kentucky and Ole Miss.

I get the whole Les Miles wants Jordan Jefferson as his starter, I really do. But Miles insisted that Jarret Lee was still the starter, the pregame starting announcements in the stadium listed Lee as the starter, and yet he only sees the field in mop-up duty. Why then is the rumor being pushed by the LSU people that Jarret Lee "might" be academically inelgible?

Players play at the pleasure of the coach. That's it. No reasons required.

since we don't have all the info, I'm going to assume that Les took the load off of Lee so that he could get his grades in order to save him the embarrassment of missing the BCSCG because of academics. Of course I realize that is too boring and logical for some, so let's continue to assume something sinister is at play so that we can be outraged!!! We Are The Rant!

Obviously there is something going on behind the scenes, where it should stay.

I prefer Lee to Jefferson by a wide margin, but even I am sick of this shite. JJ is playing, it's over, let's move on.

You probably don't know all of the details about what exactly he was punished for or even if he was "punished".
All of this internet message board speculation about the qb issue is laughable.

Pretty simple really...
Why can't people just stay in their lane?

Debateable

I just thought it was funny considering the Glen Guilbeau article today.
